[QUOTE="Sawblade, post: 610436, member: 19971"] My son's passion is football. About half way into his 5th grade season one of his teammates wasn't at practice. This was strange as like our son, him and his parents never missed a practice. About 30 minutes into practice I look up and here comes this kid walking across the field in front of his Dad. He is carrying his pads and helmet, with his head hanging low. After a few words with the Coach. Practice is stopped and all the kids are asked to listen to what he has to tell the team. With tears in his eyes he tells the team that his grades were not were they needed to be to play football. He apologized for letting the team down then handed the Coach his helmet and shoulder pads. I tell ya, there wasn't a dry eye around from the parents watch practice to everyone of this kids teammates. Later that night as we were talking about what happened, my son said Dad, I never want to have to do that because of my grades. I reinforced that if his grades fell, that's how he would leave the team. Not from a phone call from his Mom or myself to his coach. So does this type of punishment work. IMO, yes, but it has to be in place at the beginning with clear guidelines and what will result if grades are not maintained. Also, as a parent if you "ground" you son from the Playstation, remove it from his room! [/QUOTE]
